Benefits of technology

[0013]In yet another embodiment, a format in the form of an interface definition mark-up language (“IDML”) is provided for defining a relatively abstract format to be transformed into multiple platform formats in client-side applications' user interfaces in multiple human languages. In one embodiment, IDML is a subset of eXstensible Mark-up Language (“XML”) and may be fully compliant with all XML standards. IDML is used to define user interface elements within embodiments of the system and method for platform and language-independent delivery of page-based content. Keywords and rules are defined for IDML which allow a user to accurately specify a user interface to be rendered by a rendering group within the system for platform and language-independent delivery of page-based content.

Problems solved by technology

This is both labor intensive to initially setup and difficult to maintain as changes are made to the site's data and services.

Embodiment Construction

[0043]In the following description of embodiments of the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of embodiments of the present invention.

[0044]As discussed above, the present invention relates generally to a system and process for transferring content between a server and multiple network enabled client devices operating on different platforms over a network such as the Internet. Embodiments of the present invention address the need for a system and method for accepting content defined in a relatively abstract format and transforming the relatively abstract format input into a recognized platform format specific for a particular device.

Abstract

A system and method for platform and language-independent delivery of page-based content. Content defined in a relatively abstract format is rendered into multiple platform formats in client-side applications' user interfaces in multiple human languages. The relatively abstract format is a subset of XML and is used to define user interface elements to be displayed on a page. A Model-View-Controller architecture is implemented comprising a plurality of servlet filters, a servlet pipeline and a plurality of rendering processors for client detection, client tracking, relatively abstract format preprocessing, relatively abstract format processing and validating, and transforming and rendering of the relatively abstract format into multiple platform formats in client-side applications' user interfaces in multiple human languages. A creation, modification and management tool is also disclosed for creating, modifying and managing platform and language-independent page-based content.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to transfer of content between a server and multiple network enabled client devices operating on different platforms over a network such as the Internet, and more particularly to rendering content in a relatively abstract format into multiple platform formats in client-side applications' user interfaces in multiple human languages.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]The popularity of the Internet has engendered a number of devices having a capability for providing access to the Internet. As illustrated in FIG. 1, such devices include desktop and laptop computers, cellular phones and personal digital assistants (“PDAs”). The various different types of network enabled devices (“NEDs”) may each operate with a different platform format (“platform”), for example by operating with different web-based or non-web-based browser types.[0005]The term “content” is used herein to refer to...
